Iaido

Iaido, approximately "the art of mental presence and immediate reaction", is  associated with smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard or saya, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard or saya. Modern day iaido exponents typically use an iaito (training sword) for practice. Beginners may use a bokuto while the more advanced practitioner might use a shinken (sharpened sword).
